10 Low-Maintenance Landscaping Ideas for Busy Homeowners
Dan Morrissey • Jun 20, 2021
Are you a busy homeowner looking to spruce up your yard without spending countless hours maintaining it? In this blog post, we’ll explore 10 low-maintenance landscaping ideas that will not only add curb appeal to your home, but also save you time and energy.
Maintaining a beautiful garden or lawn can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, especially for busy homeowners. Fortunately, there are several low-maintenance landscaping ideas that can help you create a stunning outdoor space without requiring a lot of time or effort. Here are ten ideas to consider:
- Plant perennials: Unlike annuals, perennials do not need to be replanted every year. Once you plant them, they will come back year after year with minimal care.
- Use native plants: Native plants are adapted to your region’s climate and soil, which means they require less water and maintenance than non-native plants.
- Install artificial turf in areas where grass won’t grow: If you are tired of looking at that patch of brown grass that does not get enough sun, install artificial turf that looks just like real grass but requires no maintenance.
- Add mulch: Mulch not only helps retain moisture in your soil but also prevents weed growth, reducing the need for weeding.
- Use raised garden beds: Raised garden beds reduce the amount of bending and kneeling required for gardening, making it an ideal option for busy homeowners.
- Install an automatic irrigation system: An automatic irrigation system will save you time and water by watering your plants and lawn on a schedule.
- Choose low-maintenance shrubs: Shrubs like boxwood, juniper, and yew require minimal pruning and maintenance, making them perfect for busy homeowners.
- Create a rock garden: A rock garden requires little watering and no mowing, making it a great low-maintenance landscaping option.
- Install outdoor lighting: Outdoor lighting not only adds to your home’s curb appeal but also illuminates your outdoor space, making it more inviting and safer.
- Hire a professional landscaper: If you are truly too busy to maintain your outdoor space, consider hiring a professional landscaper who can do the work for you.
In conclusion, creating a beautiful outdoor space doesn’t have to be a full-time job. By incorporating these low-maintenance landscaping ideas, you can have a stunning garden or lawn without sacrificing your precious time. And of course, if you are in the Ormond Beach area and need assistance in setting up your low-maintenance landscape, feel free to reach out to Kennedy Landscaping at 386-547-3864.
Breast Cancer Awareness and Kennedy Landscaping: Joining Hands for the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" Program Breast Cancer is a battle that is fought every day by thousands of women, and their loved ones, across the world. Every year, October marks the Breast Cancer Awareness Month where businesses, organizations, and individuals take the initiative to support, educate and raise awareness about the disease. At Kennedy Landscaping, we strongly believe that every little step counts, and together, we can make a big difference in the fight against Breast Cancer. This October, Kennedy Landscaping is proud to support the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" program, an initiative that seeks to raise awareness and funds to fight Breast Cancer. We want to take this opportunity to share our journey and how we plan to help make strides this year. As a landscaping company, we know that the outdoors play a significant role in the fight against Breast Cancer. According to studies, being physically active and staying fit helps reduce the risk of Breast Cancer. Moreover, being close to nature is scientifically proven to have several health benefits. With that in mind, we have organized a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk this October 17th, where we will invite our clients, family, and friends to join us for a morning of physical activity, fresh air, and fun. In addition to our Breast Cancer Awareness Walk, we will donate 5% of our proceeds in October towards the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" program. Our aim is to show our support for the warriors, survivors, and those still fighting the disease. At Kennedy Landscaping, we take Breast Cancer Awareness Month very seriously, and we believe that our support can help save lives and make a difference in our community. Our message to everyone is, "Stay strong, Stay informed, Stay supported, and never lose hope. We stand with you, and together we can beat Breast Cancer." We would like to invite everyone to join us this October as we take the initiative to support the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" program. By doing so, we are making a difference, and we encourage other businesses and individuals to do the same. We appreciate your support and would like to remind everyone that early detection is the key to saving lives. Please make sure you schedule your mammogram appointments this year. We look forward to seeing you at the Kennedy Landscaping Breast Cancer Awareness Walk this October. Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, and Together, Let's make strides!
